We are scatter’d – We are scatter’d Though a merry band were weSome sleep beneath the grave And some are o’er the seaAnd time that wrought his fate On the few who yet remainThe joyous band that once we were We cannot be again!

We are scatter’d – We are scatter’d – Yet may we meet againIn a brighter and purer sphere, Beyond the reach of pain!Where the shadows of this lower world Can never cloud the eye –Where the mortal hath put brightness on Its immortality!
